Foxes hunt thugs after sick taunts at Wright

LEICESTER are working to identify supporters who abused Roy Keane and Ian Wright after the Arsenal legend complained about their behaviour during the Community Shield. After Leicester beat Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley on Saturday, Wright said he and Keane — on duty as pundits for ITV — had been targeted. ‘Obviously Leicester fans know how much respect I’ve got for them, their owners and constantly bigging up Leicester and what they do,’ Wright said on Twitter. ‘But doing punditry from the gantry where we were, some of the Leicester fans… They know what words they were mouthing to me. You let yourselves down bro, big time. ‘Leicester shouldn’t be acting like that, certain fans, you don’t represent Leicester.’ Wright also alleged Keane, the former Ireland midfielder, was the victim of a slur against his nationality. Leicester have promised to investigate, with bans anticipated for any fans who can be identified. The club tweeted: ‘Thank you for not letting this pass, @IanWright. We’d welcome your help in identifying those involved so they can be held to account. We condemn all discrimination.’ Meanwhile, Leicester will step up their hunt for a centre back this week after manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed Wesley Fofana would not play again this year after breaking his leg in a pre-season friendly against Villarreal last week. They have previously targeted James Tarkowski of Burnley and Southampton’s Jannik Vestergaard, but both would command significant transfer fees. Ozan Kabak, the Turkish defender who had a loan spell at Liverpool last season, is also thought to be of interest.
